I didn’t say they were being denied the choice, I am saying that it seems like there are some deaf groups that would deny them the choice. Multiple people on here have posted about such.
I think “saying people should make a different choice” is fundamentally different than “denying people a choice.” It seems we’re not going to agree here.
but how often does it happen that parents get the right to deny their kids the cure to something?
Cure to some, changing their identity from a deaf person to a hearing person to others. Will opting them out as a child mean they’ll be unable to take an implant when they turn 18? Nope, that choice is still out there for them to freely make–a very different scenario from Christian Scientists who don’t let their kids have antibiotics.
